Question:
I’ve attached pictures of two crocks, a six gallon and two gallon – both in what appears to be an Albany slip glaze with similar markings. The numbers on the side appear to be brushed on or wiped on with a finger. The dimensions are as follows: Six gallon – 14” tall, 1 ¼” rim. At the rim – 12 ½” outside dia, 11” inside dia. Slight taper just below the rim. Purchased in Dyersville, Iowa Two gallon -10” tall, 10” outside dia, 1 1/4” rim. Purchased in Galena, Illinois I only show the bottom of the six gallon, the two gallon is similar. There are no markings other than the “6” and the “2”. Any assistance you could provide to narrow down the possible manufacturers or a time frame would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, Nanci

Question:
I have a 20 gallon Red Wing crock with matching lid. The red wing is 4-1/8" wide. The Red Wing Potteries, Inc. oval is 1-3/4" wide. However, I cannot find the 1915 patent stamp. Can you tell me exactly where to look, or if Red Wing discontinued the 1915 patent stamp at some point. If so, this may help in identifying the age of this crock. – As near as I’ve been able to determine, this crock was made in 1936 or later, and is a Bristol (zinc) glazed piece. I feel the value of the crock and lid is about $500.00. Please see photos. Any expert information will be much appreciated. Dwight
